Farewell to Doge
Members marked the end of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the initiative associated with Elon Musk that aimed to cut government spending and reduce the federal workforce. Democrats speaking in the debate said DOGE did not deliver the savings it promised, and instead fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers, disrupted public services, mishandled private data, and cost taxpayers billions. One member said she had initially wanted to work across party lines to cut waste and suggested looking at Pentagon spending instead, and another said Congress should investigate the program’s actions and redirect money toward domestic needs like housing, roads, and child care.Written by AI from the debate.
